Believe it or not, that is how I ended up with my Axiom setup. While doing my research I kept reading about how bright Axioms were, yet there were so many happy owners out there not suffering from listening fatigue. My instincts told me something was not right, so I figured there must be other variables involved.

Having personally experienced speaker brightness as a result of poor room acoustics and poor quality source material, I was willing to bet that the speakers themselves weren't actually the problem. I wanted to see for myself so I decided to try them out knowing I could return them within 30 days. Needless to say, I never did. Love the sound, crisp and clean, not too bright nor fatiguing in the least.
